WILLIAMS SAYS
CONDITIONS BAD
Greensboro, N. C., Nov. 24.?Coalitions
in ihe chaingangs in South
laroliha are "brutal and expensive,"
L C. Williams of Columb'.a, former
ecretary of the South Carolina state
oard of public welfare, today told
he citizens' committee of 100 of the
forth Carolina social service conerenee.
Prisoners sent to the chaingangs
1 his state are pl?ced in chains,
orced to wear stripes and are beaten
unmercifully," Mr.. Williams said,
nd declared that politics is responible
for the condition, he charged.
Predicting that wi'.hin a few years
rison camps will be abandoned, ho
ecommended estab'ishment of a
arm for women prisoners, training
rhool lor younger prisoners, creaon
of a "just" parole system, disript
pails instead of coun'.y jails, a
sceiving station through whi h all
risoners could be sent and provision
ir paying them something for their
ibor.
The committee met here to hear reorts
from its subcommittees and to
ecide upon recommendations to the
forth Carolina legislature.
Governor Harvey, when shown this
sport last evening, said that he had
een in frequent conference with Dr.
Williams, former secretary of the
oard of public welfare, and thit had
sports of cruelty in handling prisners
been made, immediate action
ould have been taken.
"I' feel," said the governor, "that
lis report ifi a condensation of genral
statements, wihtout the context
eing given, which context would
robably modify the statements mejrially.
"I have no doubt that there are
ten wearing chains in different secions
of the state and that men wear
tripes?and I am not averse to their
o doing. No doubt there have been
ases of harsh treatment of prisonrs.i
But these are isolated cases.
"If such conditions were general,
.ley would have been reported to me
nd I would have taken a hand in
aem immediately.
"My own expedience has been in
>o many privileges and liberties.
"Investfcs1 ions have been made of
sports of harsh treatment accorded
risonera and they have been found,
t times, to have been grossly exageratdd.
"T f?el that had fhe conditions outned
in the report from Greensboro
em general, they would hafe been
spor*ed to me in the frenuent conirerces
held with Dr. Williams."
Governor Farvev, who is ex-officlo
liairman of the public welfare board,
\id that a meting of the welfare
oard wou'd be held next Monday, at
hich time this report frorp Greens
oro might be discussed.

FEW AGREEMENTS I
AT CONFERENCE
Lausantte, Nov. 25 (By the Associated
Press).?America insists on an it
open door policy in Turkey when Rich- h
ard Washburn Child, chief American n
spokesman, today told the Near East f<
peace conference in a statement of a;
American position. The conference CJ
immediately adjourned until the af.
ternoon when the boundary discussion tl
will be resumed. rj
. Child told the other delegates that jD
the Amer.can representatives would
express views based on legitimate in- cj
terests of the United States on hu- fc
manitation considerations. He said ^
hq American representatives were m
unable to hear any discussion'of ter- jv
' ritory settlement concluded which
may affect other settlements without m
drawing attention to the traditional m
foreign policy of America. n|
' ? t
Lau&anne, Nov. 24 (By the Associ- w
ated Press).?Eliptherios Venizelos, r,
former premier of Greece, and M.
otamboulisky, the .Bulgarian prime cj
minister faced each other at today'a ^
session of the Near Eastern confer- ai
oiwc, wneii mi enurv was maae 10 ^
reach an agreement on Bulgaria's
claim to an outlet into the Aegean f0
sea. Both men showed great emoLion.
4.^
Stamboulisky was holding out for ^
he actual possession by Bulgaria of ^
he port of Dedeagatch, contending ta
hat in no other way could Bulgaria .
je guaranteed free commerce. Veni aj
elos opposed this proposal in an irn- ^
>assioned speech, holding out for a
free port at Dedeagatch under the
ontrol of a mixed commission. ar
"The-temper'of the speech of M. ^
Venizelos alone indicates what difftulties
Bulgaria would have i ndeal- ^
ing through a port which is not at- of)
tually in her possession," M. Stamboulisky
retorted. cu
The clash did not, give weight to or
the rumors of a Balkan entente, to
include Greece, Bulgaria, Rumania ^
and Jugoslavia,v which rumors have
bees circulated in LapSanne for the ^
past few days. Bulgaria today made
reservations on the. dedsi on to give I ,
her the use of Dedeagatch as. a free ^
port and Turkey made reservation*
antees that neutrality would be respected.
Thus Lausanne seemingly already yj
is getting into the class of the Genoa ?(
onfercnoe, which was more notable sy
for the reaerva^ens "the- porrers made
man 11 was xor aenmte agreements f<J
arrived at without reservations.
Isme( Pasha today wanted a clear Cl
understanding in the treaty which the *0
Lausanne conference frames that the '
powers will guraantee the neutrality ^
of the zone which Turkey request ra
shall be created from the Black sea m
'o the Aegean sea. He asks that a g
belt of territory 60 kilometers wide
be laid out, thirty kilometers on each jj
side of the frontier between Turkey ^
and Bulgaria and between Turkey yi
and Greece along the Maritz river, a]
which forms a national boundary between
eastern and western Th-ace. VJ
Ismet called attention to the imrortance
of fortification on the-fron- rt
ties of the city of Adrianople, say- ui
ing it would be too much to ask the
Turks to destroy these strongholds Ir
without effective guarantees that
they would not be rekuired in the fuu#e.
ine rvprescnmiives ujl ine powcip g
gathered at Lausanne apparently did ^
not find great joy in the prospect of
assuming responsibility that the neu- .
trality of such an important Balkan st
belt would be respected. At all ?fl
events they avoided taking any defi- j
nite decision. They agreed that neu j/
trality undoubtedly would arise as an n
issue when the Dardanelles question
is discussed and that the Constant! .
nople-Thracian neutra'lty problem
could be disposed of at the same time.

aw of Texas. Behind this charge,

TIGER SPtiAKS AT

Boston, Nov. 24 (By the Associat

Tiger of Frahce turned from the ab
stract to the specific today, answerer
his critics at Washington with barbe
phrases and declared that what h<
really came to America for was t<
seek to draw the United States intr.
the conference at Lausanne for thi
settlement of the Eastern crisis.
Speaking in Tremont Temple be
fore a fashionable audience, Clemen
eau said he had not intended to tc I
Americas hew to run their own bus.ness.
"But they have asked me to go
farther," he said, referring to the as
sertions of senators at Washington
hat his addresses were too vague.
They also dared me. I am ready to
lay, in Boston, to go a little farther
i'll give you not advice but wha
1 think. It is the very simplest thing
n the world. There is a Lausanm
a conference where England and
France are supposed to agree with
italy, which might meet with some;
lifficulties. Let the Yankee come and
?ay, 'Good day, gentlemen; is there a
seat for me?" They will give him at.
irmchair.
"Never were circumstances .bette**.
Jo there and you will meet the East
>rn question which has been troubling
he world for the last 600 years. And
ou will do more?you will settle it.
>ecau8e you can do it because th
iresence of America in Europe again
vill tell the Germans that they won't
;o farther than certain limits because
everybody will understand that there
s a moral and material power which
s to take possession of the world
not for domniation but for freedom.
"Let . my conclusion be this; let u?
unite. Let us be good. Let us be
Tree."
The aged war premier, looking *
-rifle worn hut full Of. enthusiasm
spoke for more than an hour,
d Earlier in the day he had granted
his ftrs^t American interview in which
He paid his respects to them again
rom the platform, without, however
ising their names. And his defense
->f himself and of France against
harges of "militarism" and "im

'erms of reproach rather than in fiery
sentences.

CH1LDERS PAYS

Dublin, Nov. 24 {By the AmocUU5
ed Press).?The extreme penalty of
- military law was paid this morning
i jy Erskine Childers, noe of the lead*
i mg spirits in opposition to the pro>
visional government of the Irish Free
> State.
, Childers was sent to his doom at 7

a firing squad in the Port Bello bar*

ourt to overthrow the finding! of the
nilitayr authorities and save his lifa.
For several days arguments in ha>eas
corpus proceedings were heard
>efore the master of the rolls, but the
naster on Thursday decided that he
had not jurisdiction and that therelore
the prisoner could not obtain
relief in his coudt. Although an ap>eal
to the higher court was immeliately
taken, Richard Mulcahy, the
ninister of defense, apparently had
>nly awaited the decision of the maser
of ^he rolls to confirm the courtnartial's
death sentence and order its
mmediate exeoution.
The official record of the execution
vas not issued until five hours after
"hilders had met death. It did not
et forth how the execution was effected,
but it was generally assumed
Chi'ders was shot.
Since no details of the recent execution
of four men for offenses sira'ar
to that of Childers have ever been
published, it is assumed that for the
nresent, at least, nothing will be
made public regarding the Childers
aaae. ,.
The action of the authorities h
proceeding with the execution bete* . ^
he appeal from the decision of the
master of the rolls could be hoard
has met with both strong approval ,
- xnd strong condemnation, according * A1
'o the political leanings of the people. y

In these circles, it was declared to'ay,
when the idea vfras broached that
he execution of Childers might make
he internecine strife wilder, that th?j
rregulars had already shown a disposition
to do all the harm possible ,
and that they could do no worse.
Seven of the eight men who with
Childfrs, wero principals in th*5
habeas corpus proceedings, have been
sentenced to terms ranging from five
'ears penal servitude to 12 months
:mprisonment. The ^eighth man was
found not guilty. The names of these
men never have been made public.
